Chevalier College

It really was an amazing place to grow up ( and perhaps unwittingly) to learn. The scope of extra=curricular activities and the opportunity to experience a breadth of pursuits, from plays, cross-country skiing, abseilling or learning music in specially built peace. and SO MUCH SPORT. I have not seen the like in any other school since, though I took it all for granted at the time, perhaps distracted by the idiocy of the boarders and their perpetual boy noise.

I have children and am now myself searching for schools...but realise I have been largely 'ruined' and want for them what I experienced and loved. However, I now live far away, and cannot find it's equal. Good, yes. Expensive and prestigious even, but with a curriculum that makes me weep for the future and not a student - operated climbing harness or balcony- dangling fourteen year old in sight.

So Thankyou (most belatedly) to all who helped, shared or even hindered my puberty amidst those (lovely green)grounds.

And to Mr Alexander and Mr Deveson most especially (one for being the best teacher I ever had and the other for persisting in the assumption that I was far more perfect, deserving or angelic than my actual behaviour ever supported. xxxxx

I hope as an institution, and as a community 'you' remain as you were, so very very much fun most of all.

I was amazed when reading the above comments from past and present students, but maybe grammar, pronunciation and spelling may not have been high on the teaching priority list.

I know it is in the Public School system.

Chevalier College is a wonderful school full of love and kindness. I have been at the school for a while now and am absolutely loving it. Chevalier College is like a big family, where everyone is welcome. It offers an excellent amount of subjects for the student to engage in from agriculture studies to french and food technology.

It also offers excellent academic oppurtunities, allowing the student to achieve amazing results! I could never imagine going to another school as I love Chevalier College with all my heart!

I would strongly recommend this school to any parents who are sending their children to highschool next year, you definately wont be dissapointed!!!

I am a memeber of the Chev family and so proud to be

chev was an awesome experence. my six years i was there just flew by. i couldn't believe the spitit there it was wonderful.i was really nervous on the first week and i got lost though people showed me my way around. i felt that this was a wonderful community. You could leave your locker open and nothing would be taken. there where people there you could trust depend on.

Id like to say as an ex student that i learnt far more from the two years at chev than any time i had spent at any other school. I found myself after leaving chev being taught things i had already learnt and the substantial all round in general knowledge was much lower at the new school.If my family circumstances were different i could have gone far at your school. My brother was not as easy with school work but at chev he finished year 10 and with the help of a teacher(Mrs Santos) got a butchers apprenticship and has agreat career from it.

so thankyou
